At this stage we will be happy to step in and take care of the professional photography in order to capture your property beautifully. We will look at each room individually determining the best angles and shots to produce high quality photography that will then be used as the basis for our marketing material.
4.Marketing your property effectively

5.Roll on the viewings
Viewings can be arranged around your availability with evening and weekends being available. Typically landlords leave a key with us to get their property let in a shorter time. Our consultant will advise you on the best marketing strategy specific to your property in accordance with the market conditions, and may suggest an open day or block viewing to maximise interest.
6.Honest feedback
We find that prospective tenants are comfortable being open and honest to a straight-talking, unbiased consultant. We then relay this information to you in update calls, so you can make as informed a decision as possible. Needless to say, we have numerous checks and a vetting procedure in place to minimise the chances of a problematic tenant to slim to none.
7.Offer and acceptance stage
Upon receipt of an offer, we will notify you at the earliest, informing you of the situation in full, providing you with a profile of the tenant as well as financial status. Any conditions, or potential complications will be explained from the outset to ensure the let proceeds smoothly, minus the stress of course.
8.Happy days!
Upon acceptance of an offer, the lettings process can begin. As your appointed letting agent we will take on the administration and paper work so that you can now breathe easy, knowing the tenancy is in the capable hands of experienced and passionate people.
